Germans buy Guns Through the Mail ... Oops

Hundreds of illegal guns have been sent into Germany through the postal system, with websites offering the service.

The following summation was sent to me by a source who compiled it from a number of English language translations.

Germany’s largest newspaper is reporting that hundreds of people have been caught buying illegal firearms in order to protect themselves from migrants.

The largest of the websites selling guns has been shut down and its user data has been handed over to the police and journalists.

According to claims elsewhere in the German media, people who were buying the weapons come from all different political and socio-economic backgrounds. Many are unaware they are breaking the law and cite rising fears of being threatened by anti-social migrants as the primary reason for their purchase.

Reporters from the Sueddeutsche newspaper tracked down one of the sites’ users, a doctor from Munich, who told reporters: “People from other countries, of course, have different ideas about how to behave in society. Uncontrolled immigration is a problem, we need a 180-degree u-turn.”

Reports suggest there was a spike in sales after the Cologne sex attacks on New Year’s Eve last year.

It is believed the weapons are purchased in Hungary, where they are legal, then posted unchecked into Germany through the EU’s open borders.

A well used revolver costs around 349 euros, a Kalashnikov 749 euros. Some of the customers paid up to 4,000 euros. By the end of January 2017, according to the data, the Online shop received orders for more than 150,000 euros.

The latests exchange rate for the USD to the EUR is 1.08 dollars per Euro. Multiply the prices by 1.08 if you wish to obtain the equivalent number in dollars. Perhaps a knowledgable reader can inform us as to the postage rates for packages in the European Union.

The articles say that the police have been informed. I did not read of any arrests being made.

Very Interesting - thank you. I truly don't think this is even remotely the end of the matter. Rather, this is just the start of determined Europeans to take back the Right of Self Defense. Abdicated to Government, Germans have surrendered their responsibility for their own security. Now they see it going so unutterably pear-shaped, tits up on steroids, the Real Men are getting going again. Vorsprung durch Technik. You can't hold these guys down. I love Germany. http://www.writersharbor.org/work_view.php?work=1016

When I was in Germany. the big bad tough guys in the local motor cycle gangs were riding Honda 50s. German auto insurance was sold by horse power of the vehicle. If you want something to crack you up see a 300 pound leather jacked chain dripping tough guy on a Honda 50 trying to look tough.

Background

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” -- Thomas Jefferson

Syndicated columnist Charley Reese (1937-2013): "Gun control by definition affects only honest people. When a politician tells you he wants to forbid you from owning a firearm or force you to get a license, he is telling you he doesn’t trust you. That’s an insult. ... Gun control is not about guns or crime. It is about an elite that fears and despises the common people."

The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles -- Jeff Cooper (1920-2006)

Note for non-American readers: Crime reports from America which describe an offender just as a "teen" or "teenager" almost invariably mean a BLACK teenager.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

Two lines below of a famous hymn that would be incomprehensible to Leftists today ("honor"? "right"? "freedom?" Freedom to agree with them is the only freedom they believe in)

First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean

It is of course the hymn of the USMC -- still today the relentless warriors that they always were.

The intellectual Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) said: "The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."

How much do you know about Trayvon Martin? Did you recognize him in the picture above? If not you may need to know more about him. It's all here (Backups here and here)

“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” -- Robert A. Heinlein

After all the serious stuff here, maybe we need a funny picture of a cantankerous cat
